Troma Spurs Occupy Cannes Movement

Troma kingpin Lloyd Kaufman has been a big influence on me. See his Toxic Avenger stuff in college probably quite literally changed my life. I am going to keep this brief, as I am totally running late right now to get to The Big Photo Show. Ironically, I got a late start today because I was shooting until the middle of the night yesterday, but I digress.

To protest the stranglehold that six huge media conglomerates hold on the film industry, Troma is leading the charge on some guerrilla theatre (and punk rock making-a-scene-in-public) at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. If you won’t personally be getting yourself in trouble on camera in France this month, you can watch the festivities/activism at the Occupy Cannes Tumblr.
